DONALD TRUMP JR, the president’s eldest son and the heir to his fortune, is getting divorced from his wife, Vanessa, a former model and the mother of his five children. What’s his net worth?

Donald Trump Jr, the president’s eldest child, is getting divorced from his wife Vanessa Haydon, they have announced.

The couple, who were married for 12 years, have five children together. It was Vanessa who filed the divorce papers.

The New York Post stated that the couple’s relationship broke down due to Donald Jr’s heavy travel schedule and his controversial tweets supporting his father’s presidency. One tweet last year attacked London mayor Sadiq Khan, following the terror attack at the Houses of Parliament.

Growing up in such a wealthy family and being heir to the Trump fortune means this could be a very expensive divorce for the entrepreneur.

It’s estimated Donald Jr’s net worth is £107 million, according to the International Business Times.

USA Today has stated that the couple signed a pre-nuptial agreement, which is thought to have included a confidentiality clause, preventing Vanessa from speaking about what life is really like with Donald Jr and his billionaire father.

So where did it all begin for Donald Jr?

The 40-year-old is the eldest child of the US president, the first of three children with his first wife Ivana Trump, including Ivanka, 36, and Eric, 34.

As for his personal life, Donald Jr takes after his father when it comes to his taste in women. Vanessa was a model when they met, as were all three of the president’s wives. In fact, it was Trump Sr who introduced his son to his future wife at a fashion show in 2003.

Before she gave up modelling, Vanessa graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, released her own handbag line and famously had a fling with Leonardo DiCaprio in her early 20s.

She and Donald Jr got married at his father’s resort in Florida, the same place Donald Sr married Melania, after two years together.
